Irinotecan changes gene expression in the small intestine of the rat with breast cancer

Irinotecan changes gene expression in the small intestine of the rat with breast cancer This study has identified MAP kinase signalling as being involved with irinotecan-induced intestinal damage and confirms previous findings with radiation-induced oral mucosal damage, which also implicated this pathway. Microarrays are emerging as a valuable tool in mucositis research by linking such findings. The common pathway of chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced damage, which utilises the caspase-cascade, may be a useful target to prevent apoptosis following cancer treatment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology Springer Journals

Abstract

This study has identified MAP kinase signalling as being involved with irinotecan-induced intestinal damage and confirms previous findings with radiation-induced oral mucosal damage, which also implicated this pathway. Microarrays are emerging as a valuable tool in mucositis research by linking such findings. The common pathway of chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced damage, which utilises the caspase-cascade, may be a useful target to prevent apoptosis following cancer treatment.
